Today's LSG vs MI pitch report
The game is being played on a used surface, and Aaron Finch pointed out that 163 was defended here last time, which should give the bowlers confidence.
He added that there's a little bit of grass on the surface but added that he doesn’t think that will play too much part. Finch believes the ball will spin and hold in the wicket a little bit more, which should suit Lucknow.
